During metastasis, tumor cells migrate out of their original tissue to invade other organs. Secretion of exosomes and metalloproteases is essential for extracellular matrix remodeling, enabling migration through tissue barriers. Metastatic prostate cancer is differentiated by expression of the rare isoform A of the molecular motor myosin IC, however the function of this isoform remained unknown. Here we show that it contributes causatively to the invasive motility of prostate cancer cells. We found that the isoform associates with metalloprotease-containing exosomes and stimulates their secretion. While the data show that myosin IC is involved in prostate cancer cell migration, migration outside extracellular matrix in vitro proves little affected specifically by isoform A. Nevertheless, this isoform stimulates invasion through extracellular matrix, pointing to a critical role in secretion. Both the secretion and invasion depend on the integrity of the motor and lipid-binding domains of the protein. Our results demonstrate how myosin IC isoform A is likely to function in metastasis, driving secretion of exosomes that enable invasion of prostate cancer cells across extracellular matrix barriers. The new data identify a molecule suitable for a mechanistically grounded development into a marker and target for prognosis, detection, and treatment of invasive prostate cancer.
